@Göran: It’s “great” that you have the same problem. Then it probably isn’t some server config hidden away somewhere and the problem will probably be solved pretty soon. 
Edit: Hm.. when i try to edit the languagefile with Poedit and choose to save it i get 3 fatal errors;

Maybe it’s related?
Update 2:
Tried a Bulgarian translation and it did translate time. It must be something with 1.0+ that isn’t in 0.9 language wise.
Dear plrk I downloaded your latest .mo-file and it solved my problem with ugly letters for Swedish characters. Thank you!
It is still “sullat” but I now know how to change that. And did so. However I also have English words for months. I do not know how to change that.
My almost good enough forum is at http://www.32astolf.se/forum/
Thanks Ipstenu. 
Still a very extreme newbie to all this “press” stuff… but I’m loving bbpress so far. A little bit of customization with a few plug-ins and a theme has gone relatively smoothly… but I still can’t really get the Admin Can Post Anything plug-in to work properly… it does not seem to like i-frames… which are essential for embedding google maps and docs.
Yeah, probably. I’m trying to figure out now how to translate the topic_time(); -function. The _e(‘Some Text’) is quite understandable, don’t get how to translate a function yet though. I’ve never messed around with translations at all (obviously).
thanks very much but this doesn’t work for me. it ruins the installation and i have to manually revert via phpmyadmin.
this asks for where the bbpress installation is (forum.mysite.com/forum) …
i want forum.mysite.com/forum to be fetched from forum.mysite.com
does that make it clearer?
thanks,
paris
My theme is based on the default theme, and it works like a charm… It could be that you have based your theme on an older version of Kakumei that did not use the translation functions everywhere.
There is an administration panel, in there there is settings. Go to General Setting and set the bbPress address (URL) to the domain you want it to appear on.
He also said:
I have already installed the plugin bbPress Integration for WordPress.
which implies that he already added the code,
They won’t be giving away the theme. It was custom made for this site.
I wouldn’t use this. I’m deep integrating myself but for beginners, it will work.
@plrk: Got your E-mail. I actually do have this thread as a favorite, thanks anyway for the update though! (I wished this forum had the E-mail notification option…)
It works! Thanks!
However my time-relevant php aren’t translated still. The strange thing is that those functions aren’t touched at all. I’ll have to dig again to see if there are any errors related to the __ -stuff. One would think the default theme wouldn’t have any problem with the translations(?)
RSS problem fixed: it did not approve of the HTML entities. Considering Göran’s problem above, I thought it best to simply replace all HTML entities of åäöÅÄÖ with their “real” characters. It works for me, and you people can download it at http://dropbox.jobjorn.se/bbpress-sv_SE.zip
Unfortunately that plugin doesn’t work with WordPress 2.8…few things are broken
It’s not an ideal solution, but good enough for beginners who just want to embed a forum into their blog. Thanks for posting
I was wondering the same thing…the default theme that comes with bbpress is not nearly as nice as this one
And he said:
I have already installed the plugin bbPress Integration for WordPress. I can’t find anything wrong during my installation. I think maybe I need to upgrade my WPMU to 2.8.
Which implies that he’s on 2.7.x
This plugin was created to allow bbPress to be administered from the WordPress and WordPress MU Administration Panels. It is a very basic plugin and uses iframes to provide access to bbPress. It is known to compatible with WordPress and WordPress 2.8.1 and bbPress 1.0.1. As it just uses iframes to connect to bbPress, ideally, it will still be compatible with all upcoming versions of bbPress and WordPress.
This plugin is created by me.

I’ve tried copying the coding from wordpress header into the header in bbpress.
I’m using the unstable beta bbpress and WordPress 2.7.1
Hi. Perhaps I’m having a mental block, but I’m unable to figure this out…
I have bbpress installed at forum.mysite.com/forum
I want the forum to be displayed when when people navigate simply to forum.mysite.com
wordpress has a way of retrieving the forum outside the root, and then setting the URL.
what do i have to put in my /index.php file to make this happen for bbpress?
Thanks,
Paris
What have you tried already?
What version of WordPress and bbPress are you using?
I’m having major trouble trying to get my wordpress navigation bar onto my bbpress board.
Can anybody provide a step by step tutorial for me? I would be forever grateful

@tommiehansen: You’re right about the RSS feeds. Strange… I will look into it. Broken RSS feeds are not OK!
However, my time units are translated and the translation file definitely includes translation of those. You seem to have customized the Kakumei theme for your forum – are you sure that the months etc are wrapped in the translation function; __() or _e()?
What theme are you using and what version of bbPress?
Trac Posted: https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1159#preview
I’ll try to update it when I have time.
Btw, I had the trac ticket entry properly formated but alas It was raw text formatting which got stripped upon posting by the server. Sorry
